Dear MarciaL, Thanks for your question. During these challenging times we have changed our cleaning protocols. Usually for a 3 day stay we would provide you with sufficient towels, coffee and other amenities for the duration of your stay and not enter your suite. We offer an exchange system where you can leave out any towels or linens you'd like replaced and we will replenish them and leave them in the laundry hamper outside of your room. Garbage and recycling can be left outside of your room and we will collect it. If you would like to discuss this further please call us toll-free at 1-877-282-6337. We look forward to welcoming you. Travel safe. Your hosts, Dave and Marlene

Thanks for message Art. A few options. If you are hiring a car you could select a company with an office at the airport and drive into town. About a 20 minute drive. If you're on your own then the Nanaimo Airporter may be your best value. Believe it is $25 one way per person. Two or more and a taxi might be more cost efficient. Believe it is $40 or so one way to us. Hope that helps. Your host, Dave

Easy, yes but to get there from Nanaimo, explore for a few hours and get back is a full-day project. The distance from Nanaimo to Tofino is a bit misleading. A portion of that road is very slow, there is semi-permanent road work and a lot of traffic.

I don't think so. It is a long drive to Ucluelet and Tofino from Nanaimo. Move as soon as you arrive by ferry towards Ucluelet and book one night in Nanaimo a day before the ferry. I really recommend Buccaneer Inn for that. While driving to Ucluelet don't forget to stop at Cathedral Grove. Fantastic memories from there.
